Your support makes all the difference.A late strike from Jose Holebas earned Watford a 1-1 draw at a rain-soaked Southampton on Saturday and extended the home side's winless run to eight Premier games, increasing the pressure on manager Mark Hughes.
Manolo Gabbiadini gave the Saints the lead with a smart turn and finish in the 20th minute, profiting from good work by Danny Ings, who picked Roberto Pereyra's pocket inside the penalty area and played in his fellow striker following a corner.
The goal was the Italian's first of the season but Holebas equalised in the 82nd to deny the Saints a much-needed victory and leave them one place above the relegation zone by virtue of goal difference ahead of the international break.
The ball broke to Watford's Greek defender just outside the Southampton area after bouncing off Gerard Deulofeu and he advanced into the box before unleashing a left-foot strike that flew past keeper Alex McCarthy after taking a deflection.
Special 100-year Remembrance Day displays are going on at all four grounds before kick-off in just under five minutes time.
There's also a tribute to Vichai Srivaddhanprabha, who lost his life a fortnight ago, and Claudio Ranieri is in attendance at the King Power.
Let's see what's in store for us today.
We're underway in all four Premier League 3pm games.
It's an emotional afternoon for all involved, so let's see what they can inspire.
4 min: Huddersfield 0-0 West Ham
Huddersfield nearly continue from where they left off on Monday against Fulham. Steve Mounie rises highest before Lukasz Fabianski makes a great save, before Lossl makes a fantastic save to prevent West Ham from opening the scoring.
6 min: Southampton 0-0 Watford
Watford very nearly take the lead much to the dismay of the home supporters. Gerard Deulofeu manages to get a shot away and the keeper McCarthy does well to divert the ball away.
GOAL! Huddersfield 1-0 West Ham (Pritchard 6')
They do continue from where they left off! Alex Pritchard manages to squeeze a shot from the edge of the box past Lukasz Fabianski, with the Pole out of position as West Ham try to clear.
GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Bournemouth (Rondon 7')
The Venezuelan puts Newcastle ahead with his first Premier League goal for the Magpies. DeAndre Yedlin whips in a brilliant ball from the right and Rondon finishes at the second time of asking.
9 min: Leicester 0-0 Burnley
No serious chances for either side here. The weather seems to be reflecting the somber mood at the King Power Stadium this afternoon, and that seems to have hindered either side from starting well so far.
Leicester do have an appeal for a penalty turned dowm though after Charlie Taylor blocks a cross from the right
14 min: Southampton 0-0 Watford
There are little holes appearing in the defences of both sides but so far there hasn't been the necessary quality to take advantage of them.
This is the case for Chris Armstrong. who gets his cut-back wrong after good work from Manolo Gabbiadini.
